Leaders in Energy Efficiency

Cosgraves were early adaptors of the green agenda, incorporating a number of passive house principles to create homes that are designed and constructed to use less energy. Annabasky Glen houses feature levels of energy efficiency that are far superior to the average home. A variety of features combine to deliver lower energy usage, higher levels of comfort and exemplary sustainability credentials;

High levels of insulation incorporated into walls, roofs and floors.
Low E Windows are argon filled and feature a microscopically thin high performance low-emissivity coating which reflects heat back into the room.
Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) Using a HRV system Cosgraves have minimised wasted energy by recycling the warm air generated within the house, to heat the incoming fresh air, saving circa.90% of energy that would be otherwise lost.
Improved Air-tightness works together with the HRV to retain heat reducing heat loss and minimising exposure to external elements.
Thermal Mass is used for passive heat storage.
An “A-Rated” Heat Pump delivers high efficiency economical and climate friendly energy which powers the underfloor heating downstairs and the radiators upstairs.
Photovoltaic Panels generate electricity so less is needed from the grid.
High Performance Pipe Insulation is used to reduce heat loss.
Future Proofed The Cosgrave Services Enclosure is designed so that the energy source can be replaced without the need to change the unit, this ensures that should a more energy efficient technology be developed in the future the houses at Annabasky Glen can easily adopt it.

Nearly Zero Energy Building

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’ or NZEB means a building that has a very high energy performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required is covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources produced on-site.
